Today’s look is casual and chic, but still festive. If you are tired of wearing a dress, or just want something a little unexpected, then this is your look! Sale alert at the end of the post!

GlaMoM notes

I love the way these menswear inspired trousers pair with a sexy heel and glamorous top. Perfect for the working gal on the go!

Sequins are everywhere during this time of year, and I’m loving this sequin option from Express.

Rebecca Minkoff has always been a favorite of mine, and this mini Sydney is such a beautiful blush. The designer is currently having 35% off select styles, so take a peek!

Another sale alert are my leopard haircalf pumps from Colehaan, snag them at 31% off!

Yesterday was our first Thanksgiving in our new house. We cooked, we laughed, we ate, we drank! It was a fabulous night full of fun. I hope each of you had a beautiful holiday with loved ones as well. Speaking of the holiday’s, I recently posted a casual look with this knit jumpsuit, but wanted to show y’all how to dress it up for a festive look. A touch of sparkle from this copper jacket and a pair of sexy shoes pulls the look together perfectly. See below for three great jumpsuit options. It’s a versatile piece that can be worn day or night, dressy or casual.

Ever wonder how your favorite celebrity pulls off mixing patterns so chic? It seems so simple, but there is an art to rocking this look. I always hear “I’m nervous to mix my prints” or “It doesn’t look right when I do it”. Once you apply a few basic rules to mixing prints and patterns, you will love embracing the trend. Vests are having a big moment this season and are an easy piece to start with when mixing patterns. This J.Crew herringbone vest has been a staple in my wardrobe for two years and is currently on sale at J.Crew Factory. So hurry and grab it! Below is an easy winter look for mixing pattern that you can easily recreate. I love the pops of red (including my all time favorite red lipstick by Mac) as we enter the holiday season! While I love a red lip for holiday parties, I also like to wear it on days I’m not wearing much makeup (like below). It’s a great way to bring a little color to your face when you’re in a hurry. Scroll down for my 5 easy tips to remember when mixing patterns.

Treat stripes as a neutral. A classic striped shirt, skirt, or pant pair with almost any floral, polka dot, animal, or larger geometric print.

Keep it cohesive by picking two prints with the same color scheme.

Think small accents. Pairing two patterns doesn’t need to be a head to toe look. Choose a patterned shoe, scarf, or clutch to accent against another pattern. I have a leopard print clutch that acts as a neutral in my closet. It pairs great with a larger plaid or one of my floral maxi’s.

Invest in a subtle print layering piece – think jacket, vest, or long sweater. Stick to navy, cream, grey, or black. The neutral color will layer over almost anything, and the subtle pattern will pair well with a busier print that has more color.

It’s safe to say that plaid is this season’s “it” look. From clothing to blankets to tablewear you can find this trend just about anywhere and everywhere. Target’s recent Adam Lippes plaid collection was both affordable and stylish. If you didn’t have a chance to check the collection out, many pieces are on markdown now, so hurry! You could even snag yourself a container of mouthwash dressed in the popular print. Lol! While I love all the classic red, navy, and green plaids, bringing in an unexpected color combo, such as this blush sweater is a great addition to your wardrobe. The sweater can be worn year round, but paired with boots and layered over a chambray button down, it’s a pretty pastel winter look. I linked a few of my favorite pastel plaid’s for y’all to check out!

Vests are trending in a major way this fall, and I adore this faux fur camel vest found at Marshalls. It’s a great transitional piece that can take your summer dress into fall. Paired over this flowy eyelet dress, the look remains chic but with a touch of boho.

Also perfect for casual wear. With a neutral color like tan, the vest can be worn over just about anything. I can’t find this exact vest anywhere, but I’ve linked a few fabulous options at various price points and textures. And, can I just say my little man is rocking his plaid vest and boots so cute. Love that little pumpkin.
